Presented By:

Sunday

NSDA’s Season Opener is in the books. DomeValley
Raceway played host to the NSDA Spring Nationals and the track’s perfect race
surface created some amazing racing during eliminations on Sunday. 3-time and
defending NSDA TF Champion Scott Whipple started off his quest for 4 with a win
at DomeValley. Scott defeated John Cadzow in
the final round with a 2.33 for the victory. In the Top Alcohol class, Scott
Carroll took his first NSDA TA class win, defeating 2009 NSDA TA Champion Gary
Mink. The debut of the new Super Eliminator class saw tight competition all
event long. Billy Morris came out as the Inaugural Super Eliminator class
champion, running a nearly perfect 2.803 in the final round to defeat Paul
Taylor. The Top Eliminator final round came down to a battle of four-cylinder
dragsters with Steve Hoffman defeating John Cronin. Other winners on the day
were Israel Quintero (Pro 1), Steve Anthony (Pro 2), Charlie Johnson (Pro 3),
and Mark Ratliff (Motorcycle Pro 1 & Motorcycle Pro 2). *Results Sheets Now Posted 3/23 -- All RT's for this event: .400=Perfect RT*
